An Interesting Discovery.

An 4AO0AVoSaA8
At a recent meeting of the French academy
of medicine, M. Brouardel made known
some curious and interesting facts concerning
the dead body of q girl % years old, which
was discovered in q cellar under q heap Of
straw. The body had lain there about .
wear. and was in q perfect state Of mummi-
faction. Putrefaction had never set in. Ono
of the limbs were shown at the meeting;
it was thoroughly dry, the tissues were
hardened, and, when struck, sonorous. NM
Brouardel and Audouard attributed this
mummiication to the dryness Of the soil
on which the dead body had been placed; but
the more important factors were five differ
emit species of mites, which deposited the
debris of the envelopes Of their eggs and hard
parts among the dust that covered the dried
tissues of the body. Now M. Megnin proved
that, by studying the generations OF mites
which have been at work on q dead body, the
date of death-often q most important point
in n,zpicious cases-can be ascertained. This
entomologist, by examining the debris Of
mites in q child's corpse. ascertained that
death occurred two years previously. A
iudicial inquiry confirmed this statement
N. Brouardel described the order Of success
sion Of different species Of mites which worked
on the dead body Of the young girl; also the
work of destruction accomplished BY each
separate species. One species absorhs the
A,.;ds. another consumes the fatty acids
When a species has finished its work tides on
the dead body or is devoured by . succeeding
.,.c;es. which in its turn sets to work. Each
rsner.fion in nmmer lives from six waaks -

Bancroft. the historian, is one of the most
noticeable figures in Washington society
The remarkabl preservation Of his vigor at
the advanced age of "a years, Is what makes
him the most interesting. He is not the
most charming conversationallst In the
world He fairly roars as he talks. He APP
pears always as if he were addressing some
one a dozen yards away. He shouts several
sentences at a friend in this high key and
then without waiting or listening to anyone
else he moves to address someone else. He
calls as much as the most active society
Young man. He darts in and out OF the
leading houses of the town with light skip
that is almost offensive in its exuberant
agility This veteran still has a slim, erect
figure. His legs are straight There is no
weakness there. He holds himself together
with all that goes to make good military
set-up. He is especially agile in the press
ence of ladies, and under the inspiring glance
of lovely society bud, the veteran curvetS,
SHES and skips with the lghtsome grace OF
some of the thoroughbreds he has been so
fond of riding in the past.
This is a picture of him as I saw him the
other day: He sat in low, easy pony
phaeton drawn by stout black horse, wear
back of him in the rumble sat his favorate
colored groom, who held the reins over the
historians left shoulder. The old man wore
a dark-blue untrimmed Prussian officers
cap pulled well down upon his cleaning
eyes, looking out through huge pair OF
round, heavily gold-mounted glasses resting
upon a real hawk nose. A snowy-whlte
silky mustache and beard brought out his
fresh color, and stood out in strong contrast
with the dull black of his heavy pilot-cloth
overcoat while about his legs was an afghan
of red, black, and yellow worstedS. 1t was
a warm, sunny day. His horse logged along
with a steady gait, while the veteran roared
a soliloquy at his servant about his calling
places. The man leaned forward deterrent
tally and superintended the calling list.
When he said stop the veteran would throw
aSide his afghan and skip up the steps, SEEM
ing to restrain himself by an effort from
turning handsprings on his way.
Mr. Bancroft lives a very regular life, and
as he has always taken a great deal of out
door exercise, it is not hard to account for
his long life He has never burdened him
self with work. He has been all his long
life writing history that could have been
written in ten years with moderate labor.
